Ake Jonsson was the hero in the Webb house when we were mere fledglings in the sport. Brother Mike fashioned his style and machine directly after the Swede and I put Maico forks on my Yamaha MX400 back in the day.

Mark Kiel captured Will Harper at the Dunes in ’75. Will was an incredibly dominant racer and for a time was ‘the man’ at Indian Dunes and Valley Cycle Park.

KEN ROCZEN HOAX

React 365 is known for throwing out total fabrications and hope that they stick. Ken, Courtney and Blake were en route to a vacation when this was posted.

Idiots.

I love this shot! It’s mid 70s and looks to be either Irwindale or Lyons. What a classic.

FMF KTM Factory Team rider Russell Bobbitt clinched his 5th AMA National Enduro Championship at the final round of the series. Check out the footage from his title-winning run.

I have most of the tickets from Supercross events that I’ve been to. If you look at the top left I have the 1976 LA Coliseum Supercross ticket. Yee haw.

One of my file cabinets, check out the Rick Munyon Factory Honda sticker and the FMF sticker adorned with Al Baker’s logo, since he had just bought the company.

 

WOLF: BACK IN THE DAY

The Wolf- Back in the day. Working for DR and having a hoot. This was shot at the Black Coal National Hare Scrambles and I was racing Randy Hawkins factory RMX Suzuki. I remember the race being tough, muddy and I loved the machine.
